Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for presenting three-dimensional content on a display. An exemplary system for presenting a plurality of frames on a display comprises a first lens, a second lens, and an activation system. The activation system utilizes electromagnetic radiation to activate the first lens when a respective frame being presented on the display corresponds to the first lens, resulting in the first lens being substantially transparent and the second lens being substantially opaque, and to activate the second lens when a respective frame being presented on the display corresponds to the second lens, resulting in the second lens being substantially transparent and the first lens being substantially opaque.
Claims19
A system to present a plurality of frames on a display, the system comprising:
- a first lens;
- a second lens;
- and
- an activation system configured to utilize electromagnetic radiation to activate the first lens when a respective frame being presented on the display corresponds to the first lens, resulting in the first lens being substantially transparent and the second lens being substantially opaque, and to activate the second lens when a respective frame being presented on the display corresponds to the second lens, resulting in the second lens being substantially transparent and the first lens being substantially opaque.
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to present a frame for viewing;
- a photosensitive lens;
- a source configured to emit electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- a synchronization unit coupled to the source, wherein the synchronization unit is configured to signal the source to emit electromagnetic radiation such that the electromagnetic radiation is emitted in sync with the frame being presented, wherein the electromagnetic radiation increases transparency of the photosensitive lens.
A method of presenting three-dimensional content comprising a plurality of frames, wherein each frame corresponds to either a first eye of a prospective viewer or a second eye of the prospective viewer, the method comprising:
- displaying the plurality of frames on a display;
- activating a first lens configured to be aligned with the first eye of the prospective viewer when a respective frame on the display corresponds to the first eye by emitting electromagnetic radiation, the first lens being substantially transparent and a second lens configured to be aligned with the second eye of the prospective viewer being substantially opaque in response to the electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- activating the second lens when a respective frame on the display corresponds to the second eye.
A method of presenting three-dimensional content comprising a plurality of frames, wherein each frame corresponds to either a first eye of a prospective viewer or a second eye of the prospective viewer, the method comprising:
- displaying the plurality of frames on a display;
- activating a first lens configured to be aligned with the first eye of the prospective viewer when a respective frame on the display corresponds to the first eye by ceasing emitting electromagnetic radiation, the first lens being substantially transparent and a second lens configured to be aligned with the second eye of the prospective viewer being substantially opaque in response to an absence of the electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- activating the second lens when a respective frame on the display corresponds to the second eye.
